Protect Our Planet - News Briefs
🌍 EPA cuts mentions of humans from webpage on climate change causes
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently revised parts of its public website on climate change, notably removing references to fossil fuels and human-caused warming from key pages. These edits now emphasize natural phenomena like changes in Earth’s orbit and volcanic activity as climate drivers, a shift that contradicts the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming. Scientists, former EPA officials, and advocates argue that the changes mislead the public and undermine understanding of the human role in the climate crisis. “EPA is trying to bury the evidence on human-caused climate change, but it cannot change the reality of climate science or the harsh toll climate impacts are taking on people’s lives,” said Rachel Cleetus, senior policy director for the Climate and Energy Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, in a written statement. This isn’t just about data on a website; it’s an attack on independent science and scientific integrity,” Cleetus said.” — The Hill
🛢️ New Report: “Big Oil’s Deceptive Climate Ads”
A new analysis of more than 300 climate-related advertisements by BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell shows how these companies have misled the public for decades. The report finds that oil majors portray themselves as climate solution leaders while continuing to expand fossil fuel production and exaggerate commitments to emissions reduction. “These deceptive advertisements not only misrepresent the climate impacts of the companies’ products, initiatives, and actions, but also feed a larger false narrative that oil and gas companies are part of the solution to climate change,” the report concludes. These deceptive ad campaigns have helped maintain social acceptance of fossil fuels, despite worsening climate impacts. The findings are intended to support accountability efforts and ongoing litigation against major polluters. — Common Dreams
⚖️ Philippines Typhoon Survivors Sue Shell Over Its Role in Climate Change
More than 100 Filipino survivors of a devastating 2021 typhoon are suing oil giant Shell in London, claiming that the company’s historical fossil fuel emissions significantly contributed to climate change that intensified the storm. The plaintiffs seek compensation for deaths, destruction, and economic losses, asserting that Shell knew of the climate harms and downplayed risks while continuing carbon-heavy operations. “Survivors contend that Shell — responsible for over 41 billion tonnes of CO₂e , or more than 2% of global fossil fuel emissions, according to the Carbon Majors database — cannot claim ignorance.” — Greenpeace

How do we Protect Our Planet?
🏠 At Home
Save energy by switching to LED bulbs, upgrading to efficient appliances, and unplugging devices when not in use—small habits make a big impact. Choose renewable energy from your utility or consider installing rooftop solar. Conserve water by fixing leaks, shortening showers, and using efficient fixtures. Eat more plant-based meals to reduce emissions and improve your health. Compost and recycle to keep food scraps and recyclables out of landfills, cutting methane pollution. And drive less—walk, bike, carpool, or take public transit whenever possible, because every mile not driven helps the planet.
💼 At Work
Support remote work options to reduce commutes and cut emissions. Improve efficiency by using LED lighting, motion sensors, and better insulation. Go paperless with digital tools and choose recycled materials when printing is necessary. Promote green travel by encouraging biking, carpooling, and public transportation. Buy sustainably by selecting eco-friendly, non-toxic, and recyclable products. And lead on policy by advocating for workplace sustainability goals and partnering with ethical vendors.
💚 The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time — but it’s also our greatest opportunity to rebuild, renew, and rise together. By pairing small personal changes with big collective action, we can protect our planet and secure a livable future for generations to come.
